Cake

This weekend I made a cake for the first time in a year and a half. It felt great. I have really missed decorating cakes. I was unsure of how it was going to go with having to care for HG and make a cake. Luckily, after we got home from the grocery store, she decided to take a two hour nap. That allowed me to get the cake baked, make 3 batches of icing, and get all the fondant rolled out and cut. Oh, and get all the dishes done.

When she woke up, I had her lunch ready and put her in her high chair. While she was eating, I iced the cake. Josh got home about the time she was done with lunch and he was able to take her and keep her occupied while I worked on the cake. I had to pause to give her a snack and then get her down for her second nap. The cake took me 6 hours and I am so thankful that he was there to help me. Otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken.

The cake was for a baby shower that was on Sunday. The theme was "Two Peas in the Pod". The mother-to-be is expecting twins in September. And she isn't finding out the gender of the babies. I love that more and more people aren't finding out what they're having. It truly is a wonderful surprise. If I had to do it over again, I would stick to not knowing. It was so exciting hearing the doctor say "It's a girl!".

Anyways, here is the cake! It was delicious!
